TIL that Inertia is a Force with direction. Former students are in collegiate Intro Engineering Physics class. Professor (Ph.D.) teaches them to include "Inertia Force" on all FBDs. Also, that "normal force had to be down because there needs to be a normal force down onto...

How to stop the teacher shortage: 1. Bring it up in the news constantly as a problem instead of ignoring it. 2. Promote the profession. 3. Stop bashing the profession. 4. Respect teachers. 5. Pay teachers as much as other professions with the same education level. #realtalk
